forget Netflix and hulu...I could binge watch your videos for days!!!
wasabiimenace what's up
Great video! Please do more accounting videos! Q.: what accounting software programs have you used while working in different firms? What computer skills / programs are important for an accountant to know in general? What do you know of accounting jobs in health/medical industries ? Thank you!!!
Loved this video? Can you do more business casual looks? As someone new in the corporate world, it helps a lot! Thanks girl! ❤️
Was studying for my Management class but had to watch the whole thing lol definitely worth it, thumbs up!!
Your videos are so informative, I love them. I agree with everything you mentioned, as I have worked in public accounting and in industry!
To the girl who can't find a job in Houston two suggestions 1) Robert Half Staffing company or other staffing companies (look it up) 2) join a local organization accounting related and network with accounting professionals...- hope that helps
I love this channel. It somehow answers all my questions about my future.
Love your Q and A videos. Doesn't matter that it's long! Thank you for your honest advice.
Great video! And thanks for all the time-stamps in the infobox! So helpful!
Watching your videos are so informative and calming. Love them and you!
I really enjoy your questions and answers videos!!! Good job!!!
Hi! Love your videos:) but I've got a question about that example you've given to us cause I cannot wrap my head around this... the equation you've provided us with doesn't seem right in order to work out the original price...
if the final price was $40 because you subtracted 40% of the original price I think you cannot do what you told us to do? as it would give us $100 of the original price and 40% off $100 is $60, not $40. So the client would then tell us that this handbag cost $60 after the discount if that would be true. Therefore, from what you're saying the $40 is not the final price, only a discounted amount subtracted from the original price...
But if $40 would be the final price of the handbag after the discount then you could work the original price out by
(original price) - ( 40% of the original price) = $40
so then we can say that the original price is x so it would be
1X - 0.4X = $40
0.6X = $40/ 1/0.6
X = $40/0.6
X = $66.666
and that would be our original price but not using your equation as from your equation the original price would equal $100 and so the final price after the discount would equal $60...
But probably I'm doing something wrong :p ...so is it possible for you to explain it to me if I'm not right, please? :)
Loved this video! Very informative :)
Thank you for answering my questions! Definitely had a fan girl moment haha.
Very informative video! Big fan of you
Stephanie,
Your so amazing, you have style, class, and grace. I love how you are willing to share you knowledge and experience with us accounting newbies. I look forward to these Q&A vlogs as you always seem to give great advice. I live in New Mexico and just graduated with my associates in accounting and I feel so lost. Mind you I am not going to a traditional college, I am attending online, and am taking 18 credits while working 25 hours a week. I really want to find a job in my area I just have no clue what to look for. At this point as you stated I just want to work and get myself out there.
Good luck on your career! Hope you are feeling better now.
omg! thank you for the video! super helpful
I'm currently working on a paper, but I'm pausing to watch this video! :D
I wanted to know what student organizations were you involved in during college and your takeaway from each? I'm currently a college sophomore and you are so inspiring.
Hey there. What tips can you give a new audit senior about juggling multiple clients and staying on track?
very informative! the whole advise about nail colours is no use to me (man) .. but the rest is very useful. thank you! keep making the great vids!
I would definitely watch an hour long video🙈🙌🏽
This was awesome! 😁
You're amazing! That's great that you were homeschooled. I was homeschooled too!
Obsessed with your videos! haha :D
Been waiting for this.
Hey! I absolutely love your videos and your instagram! I am in my freshman year of college right now, and to get my CPA in four years, I am working a horrible job at a place I hate to support myself? Do you think it will be worth it in the end? You are very inspiring and gorgeous, and I legit want the type of career you have one day. Should I just tough it out, and is it truly worth it?
I have a question. Do you know anything about Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination.
Would you go into Forensic accounting if you had the chance?
Omg, I want to be an event planner as well if I’m not an accountant. Haha.
Too funny 😁 Great minds 💗
Thanks for the very informative video! Not sure if you've answered this somewhere already - but when you left public accounting at the big 4 for industry, what made you go back into public accounting at a mid tier firm?
Also, can you please expand on why exactly the hours are so long in big 4 firm during busy season? What takes up most of the time? Are you generally busy on the daily during busy season or are there certain weeks where you're just busier than normal? I remember watching your video where you mentioned you worked up to about 100 hrs a week, so are there multiple weeks like that or what is usually the hrs per week during busy season? (Generally speaking from the associate/senior level) Thank you!!
Great video as always!! I'm really interested in audit (specially external audit) and I definitely like it more than taxes. I'm not sure about the lifestyle though. Family is really important for me and I want to have kids and spend time with my family. I feel like in audit I would be too much time away from home and wouldn't have a structured calendar but at the same time it's really what I'm most interested in. I'm also an introvert person. Do you have any tips for making this decision in my career path? What should I do and what should I take into account for making this decision? What was this process like for you? Do you know anyone in a similar position as me, and how did he/she ended up deciding on it? Thanks for everything!! Love you!!
Also, I'll have an interview with one of the big 4 soon. How is it different from a regular interview? Do you have any tips? Thanks!!
valeb410 I actually interviewed at both mid tear and big 4 firms. It's honestly not much different than a mid tear interview. The questions they ask are very similar. The only difference is the second round of interviews. The second round mid tear interviews are usually another interview in office where you meet more office members. Big 4 second rounds are usually a day long even including a dinner or lunch and more social events. Depending on which level you're joining it, this may be different. I'm speaking specifically from a staff level.
Harbir Atwal Thank you!!! I'm a bit scared about this interview because I'm still a student and I've never worked at companies like these. All my previous jobs were like in a store at a mall and stuff like that. I'm just trying to prepare for it the best I can. Thank you so much!
valeb410 I know the feeling! I interviewed while in school as well a year ago on campus and it was so nerve racking! I had no experience either besides a small internship but just made sure I had a killer resume and tried to smile and show my interest as much as I could during the interview. Just be yourself! I personally am a quiet person (hence why I chose tax haha) but I made sure I played myself up during the interviews and it seemed to work! I got second round interviews for all 8 firms I interviewed with! Good luck! If there's any specific questions you have feel free to ask!
Harbir Atwal Thank you so much for this!! ;)
It's been a year since I've graduated with my accounting degree. I've interview with a few different companies but was not qualified enough to land the positions. Any tips Or suggestions on what to do next? At this point I'm thinking of applying for an internship just to get some experience. Thanks !
Ps. Love your videos !
+Amy Kong I would definitely look for internships to get some experience. The job market is super saturated so I think it would help. Try networking, maybe through the alumni network at your university. You might have a better chance if you know someone at the company. Wishing you luck!
love your makeup
+Nina Perez thank you hun!
What exactly do you mean by "Not sponsored"?
How did you're gpa recover from failing that semester? Im facing a similar problem and im going to end my first semester with a 3.1 gpa😞
I'm from China and I'm currently looking for a job in public accounting firms. Is it hard for international students to find a job in Big four? And how hard is it for a non native speaker to perform well in the firm?
If you did not get a job offer from Big 4 after graduation what would you do to get hired from Big 4?
Desmond lough Hey, so few of my classmates graduated without any Big 4 offers last May but they were successful in landing Big 4 positions this recruiting season. So my advice for you is to apply again. Public accounting firms will be recruiting again this January so look out for that. If that fails, you can wait for recruiting season nex fall. There are other alternatives such as working for a non Big 4 first and then getting hired by the Big 4 as an experienced hire.
Normally your school partners with one big four so try attending their recruiting events. Remember if you don't work for the Big 4, it's not the end of the world. There is better opportunities out there than the Big 4
Would it be if I take notes with my cell phone?

Great video, I have a another question & if anyone else wants to add their opinion feel free to. So would you say accounting is female dominant job or it's about equal with both genders?
Currently doing my 2nd year of college (19yrs old) & just wondering if this is the right field to go into
hmmm, tbh back when i was in school it was 50/50 guys & girls. but now that I'm working (in industry), it's majority women, lol!!! BUT, there's more guys in management role tho... soooo.... :)
What did you get on your act or sat?
Hi +stephienese ,
I'm in the process of a career change, and I'm worried that I will not find work while going to school for accounting. Is this a common thing? It seems that in your case you were able to have an accounting job while still attending college.
Thanks
it all depends on your location. Apply for jobs and hope for the best.
Don't be afraid. Try to build your resume with things related to accounting or skills that will help you build your career in accounting. Just keep applying for internships or jobs. Try to get your foot in the door.
You could start from accounting internships first while you are in college. It was 3 years ago for this comment. I hope you are having a great accounting job now. Good luck!
CPA Career Paths talk about an old comment!! Haha, I’m now doing accounting work at a bank. I did not picture myself being here but I am grateful. Thank you for your inspiring videos
Jeffrey Preston It’s never too late if you want to go further in the accounting career. The CPA license could take you far in this career. Don’t stop going further in your current career when you already took the chance to change from one career to another career three years ago. I’m glad that my videos are helpful.
What kind of part time positions are available in the accounting field?
You can find part time positions in private accounting. Public accounting normally requires full time positions.
you are so gorgeous! we need collab!!! I'm from the uk by the way xxx
Have you used LinkedIn in job and networking to find a job? ??
LinkedIn is a great resource for you to find a job. If you haven’t had one yet, I strongly suggest to have one. Networking now is really important in the job searching process. You have higher chance to get hired for the job if someone introduces you to the company.
Is a business administration degree with a concentration on accounting the same as just a regular accounting degree?
yes, it should give u enough units to sit for the exam, but not to get licensed. In most states u need 150u which is equivalent to a Masters degree. Check your state requirements. Each state has different requirements tho.
Yes.
Is audit better than tax?
It depends on your personality and future plan. They are different. It’s an individual opinion about which one is better. I had an opportunity to do both and I like both of them. However, I ended up with audit. 😉
Private is industry right?
Michael Mitchell yeah it is
😍
